Job Description

Parenta have many opportunities available and offer you the chance to ‘Earn as you Learn’ whilst gaining a nationally recognised qualification. The best part? There are no classes to attend!



We are currently hiring candidates to work in a nursery setting.



The moment your journey begins as an apprentice:




  • You become an employed member of staff

  • You will be paid an hourly rate

  • You will work towards gaining a full qualification – without having to attend classroom-based lessons



The apprenticeship will last a minimum of 12 months. You will be working towards a Level 2 or Level 3 in Childcare.



Throughout your role you are not alone. Parenta offer you full training, support, guidance and are here to help you progress your career. You even have a personal assessor/tutor assigned to you from the moment you start your journey as a modern apprentice.



Your role will include:




  • Working with children between the ages of 0-5 years, organising activities, being proactive with the help and care carried out within the early years teaching sector

  • Assisting and meeting the personal/emotional needs of individual children – changing nappies, feeding, caring and establishing a relationship with children

  • Work (under supervision) providing all aspects of care/support to children, ensuring they take part with day-to-day learning and play activities

  • Ensure that the setting is safe, clean, and well presented

  • Collaborate with colleagues ensuring the highest standards of work are carried out and are provided throughout your role in a positive manner

  • Contribute to a high-quality caring environment for children; this includes creating a warm, friendly, and stimulating atmosphere in which the children can develop emotionally, socially, and educationally through individual attention and group activities

  • Attend team meetings and contribute relevant ideas

  • Be able to understand and implement the setting’s confidentiality policy

  • Contribute towards an effective and supportive team environment



Throughout this role, you will gain extensive knowledge and experience within the working environment which will set you up for a great career upon completion. This will hopefully lead to permanent employment within the early learning year’s sector or even continue to the next level, undertaking further training.



Ideally you will:




  • Be passionate about caring for children

  • Have an outgoing, bubbly, motivated attitude

  • Be a committed, punctual, and reliable individual


Personal Qualities :

  • Friendly and outgoing, with a willingness to learn

  • Passionate about providing equal opportunity, family centred childcare

  • Ability to communicate both written and verbally with a wide range of people

  • Enthusiastic

  • Warm, caring, and approachable

  • Flexible

Skills Required :

  • Good communication skills

  • Comfortable with creative thinking

  • Confident with children

  • Calm and organised

  • Experience of working/participating in a team environment

  • Written, verbal, and listening skills



Future Prospects :

When you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship, you may have the opportunity to continue with an exciting career in childcare! Initially you will be working towards an NVQ Level 2 in Childcare, with a chance to progress to a level 3 after that.
